Illuminate is Lumine Group’s flagship learning event for senior leaders across our portfolio. In 2025, we met in Tulum, Mexico for a focused program of expert sessions, peer exchange, and purposeful networking. The experience equipped leaders with practical insights and fresh perspectives to bring back to their teams—energized, informed, and ready to lead forward.

Your Global Ecosystem
As part of Lumine Group, you’re part of a global ecosystem of over 30 communications and media software companies. At Illuminate, we bring this ecosystem to life, building an exhibition area into a dynamic space for connection, discovery, and collaboration. It’s where companies meet not just to showcase, but to spark ideas, build relationships, and unlock new opportunities across the ecosystem.
“I met someone from a sister company who solved a problem we’ve been stuck on for months. That connection alone made the event extremely meaningful.”
— Karen Barletta, Head of Marketing, Axyom.Core
Giving Back to the Local Community
During Illuminate, we look for meaningful ways to connect with and support the local community. In Tulum, we hosted a marketplace featuring local artisans, where employees used company-provided tokens to shop and directly support small businesses. Offsite excursions also offered participants a chance to explore the region’s cultural heritage and natural beauty, reinforcing our commitment to responsible and community-minded engagement.
“It was refreshing to attend a global event that wove in cultural connection and community impact. Knowing that our participation directly supported local artisans and small businesses made the experience even more meaningful.“
— Catarina Alves, Director of Marketing, Lifecycle Software
From Curiosity to Capability: AI as a Strategic Lever
Artificial intelligence wasn’t just a buzzword—it was a strategic imperative. Across sessions and side conversations, leaders explored how AI is reshaping everything from managed services to talent development. The tone was clear: we’re not dabbling in AI—we’re operationalizing it.
“The AI discussions at Illuminate weren’t speculative. They were grounded in real use cases—how teams are using AI to reduce manual effort, surface insights faster, and make smarter decisions.”
— Alan Catherall, Head of R&D, NetEngage
